a box full of packing peanuts. This box is put in a larger box of packing peanuts so that peanuts completely surround the inner box.
Question:
Any comment with this problem?
Answer:
Maybe there's a way to ship by, well, ship... It may take longer, but could
be safer, I don't know... I had problems enough with my two suitcases when I
moved here...Sure wish I could have my antique furniture and even the house
I used to live there, which was my grandma's...
Fortunately, I have the uncanny ability of keeping my parents terrorized so
that they won't destroy anything that I could save from the rest of the
family.
Good for the bunnies I don't need to terrorize them out of the few pieces of
furniture I have here.
This is how its being done, by ship (It will take 6-8 weeks!) So I'm making
an inventory of bits we will need in that time that can come with us! (eg a
saucepan, two plates etc) Ed spoke to someone today who moved before us (his
visa came through quicker) and has Finally got his stuff. He didn't have so
many breakables, but it got there in one piece - Phew!!
I'm going to wrap our crystal stuff myself, Heather gave me a great web site
with tips, thanks! and Thankyou all!
Martha, my mum already has a room full of my stuff that didn't get moved up
here when we married, she keeps badgering me to sort it, but I'm a hoarder
(like her) so I doubt it will decrease any! In fact it will increase as I
beg her to store bits from here no doubt! I wish I could have it all here,
and the Rabbit ornament collection (thirty pieces collected since I was 5)
will finally sneak its way up! (Ed doesn't like lots of clutter! Sigh,
clutter - rabbit ornaments?!Never!
(Who has lived in the Usa for years - her hubby is american) when she first
met Bunnie and found out how he was a house bun couldn't ask enough
questions and was fascinated, she was completely in favour of housebuns. But
then she is into animal rights too. It was sooo refreshing to get completely
the opposite attitude, the only time that that has happened!
That sounds like my house. Roy's boss and one of his friends who
he works with were over one night. When someone first comes over the buns
all hide because of the dogs barking but once the dogs settle down they all
start making their appearances again. Their jaws dropped when they started
noticing 3 bunnies hopping around the living room and sticking their noses
in their tea!:
I have to say I have encountered the same attitudes. I thought it was just
me at first. People telling me that rabbits should live in the garden or
garage and how can you keep it in the house they make a mess. (some of them
being my inlaws, had to bite my tounge there!) I often remark that if I
wanted a bunny as a garden ornament I would go to the garden centre and get
a ceramic one. I don't want to be rude but being american I have noticed
this attitude in general here (here being england)about most animals. One
sunny afternoon I was sitting in the front garden letting the buns have a
hop around. Our front garden is completely enclosed by a 4 foot high brick
fence thing. So to everyone else I looked like a loon sitting outside
laughing to herself!:) (we dont let them out back because thats where the
dogs relieve themselves and don't want them eating that grass) anyway I was
out front and the neighbor asked what I was doing. I told her I was
wathcing my bunnies. She of course ran over quite interested and pointed
out how adorable they were. Then she asked where they lived and I said they
are all in the house and litter trained and gave her the usual good bunny
speech;) She seemed amazed. She said that she keeps cats because they can
live outside and you don't get attached to them and don't love them as much.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She also said she had never heard of
anyone letting rabbits live indoors like that. I kind of remarked that you
learn something new everyday. She went back to her house and I was just
amazed at her attitude about it all and not loving or being attached, and to
be honest that seems to be the general sentiment of most people I have come
across.
Well I guess the point of this story was that I understand your frustration
celia!! People get almost indignant with what they don't understand or
agree with and most of them almost try to force their point of view on you.
But I have to say that my buns are cleaner and nicer then half the people I
know and would rather have a houseful of buns then them!:) Stick to your
guns!:)
This isn't an anti british post so please don't take it this way, this is
just my opinion of the attitude of most of the people I have encountered.
